“I have often said I would remain a member of the court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that.”
Justice Ginsburg issued her above statement in response to cries for her to step down. The eldest Supreme Court justice has had to defend herself against accusations that she’s not strong enough to serve on the highest court in the land -- even though, over just the last few months, she’s voted to protect LGBTQ+ rights, preserve DACA, and hold Trump and his tax returns accountable to the law.
Still, vocal critics (many of them Democrats) think RBG has been selfish to stay on the court so long. Many are now claiming RBG should have retired when Obama was in office -- as if she could have known what would happen next. RBG’s legendary response to her naysayers? Who would you “rather see on the court than me?”
We wouldn’t prefer anyone else. Would you? Tell us now:
